B. E. (Hons) in Electronics Engineering

This is a special degree program that combines two disciplines that have significant synergies. Electronics engineering is designed to develop the core engineering skills of students so that they would fulfil the requisite professional requirements of their chosen engineering fields. At the same time, the electronics engineering will equip a student with the necessary business skills and knowledge in the areas of organizational behaviour, finance and accounting, marketing, economics, and business law, among others, in order to be successful in the business world.

This combination of engineering and business skills will produce a new breed of business-savvy engineers for the marketplace to:

• Focus on electronics and communications engineering for broadcasting

Developed in liaison with Staffordshire University, electronics engineering is designed to prepare students for careers as professional electrical engineers, with the focus on innovation, analysis and development within a wide range of industries from both the user's and producer's perspective.

Electronics engineering provides a broad education in electrical and electronic engineering in the first two years, sharing a similar structure to the B. E. (Hons.) Electronic Engineering degree, but with specialist courses in power electronics in the second year. In the final year, students study core courses in the areas of power engineering and power electronics and produce a major individual project in electronic engineering.

Electronics engineering is a field of engineering that deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. The field first became an identifiable occupation in the late nineteenth century after commercialization of the electric telegraph and electrical power supply. It now covers a range of subtopics including power, electronics, control systems, signal processing and telecommunications.

The department of electronics engineering has been playing a vital role in producing scientists and technologists of highest calibre ever since it was established in the year 1961. The department runs three under graduate programmes and 9 post-graduate programmes to cater to the ever challenging needs of technical excellence in all areas of electronics engineering.

Career

This degree can open many doors to graduates who have the ability to work competently in electronics and use the tools of electronic engineering. Electronic Engineering links into a multitude of industries, each with their own disciplines and requirements. Career paths include electronic product design, radio frequency design and mobile communications, signal processing, control and power electronics, electronic control systems, consumer electronics, telecommunications, military and aeronautical electronics, production management, and education.
